about

The wolf is often misunderstood and given a bad reputation in fairy tales and in real life. This song shares the wolf's side of the story. It is a call for empathy and understanding that will just might awaken your own wild inner wolf. This song i part of the album, "Creatures On the Move."

lyrics

Who would want to meet you, wolf?
Your crazy eyes and scary tooth
You’re not a dog, so who are you
A wolf, de wolf, de wolf, le loup?

You might think I’m big and bad
but that’s a myth that makes me sad
Red Riding Hood and the greedy wolf
is a fairytale and not the truth.

I see your point, Monsieur Le Loup
And now I’m not sure what to do
I must admit I still have fear
Of letting you come too near

I live on the move and howl at the moon
I must be strong and care for my own
But if your mum’s gone or can’t come back
you can stay with me, you can join my pack

Your offer to join you is very kind
But I see those sharp claws, I’m not blind
I am not sure you’ve convinced me yet
If I went with you, my mum might fret

I make deer roam to keep land green
help rivers flow, make room for trees.
My work is to keep the world in check
to bring the bears and beavers back

I see you’ve many seeds to sow
I like the idea of helping things grow
I’m not sure wolf life is my style
But perhaps I’ll join you for a while

I can be fierce but I’ve a sensitive soul
And fear of my kind has taken its toll
I’ve a job to do so much to give
let me be free, let me live.

We should all be free, I quite agree
But I wonder who will listen to me?
I’ll tell your story far and wide
No matter what, I’ll take your side

Wolf, de wolf, de wolf, le loup
Forget the world
I’ll howl with you
Wolf de wolf de wolf le loup
Let’s howl at the moon, Aroooooooooo

Guiding Song Brussels, Belgium

I grew up playing classical music and only began composing in 2010. I write music using a method of songwriting called Story-to-Song (STS), which I developed with a colleague. As a songwriting guide, I help a song reveal itself in its own unique way, be it from a traditional spoken story, shared words or phrases, or a poem. ... more
